    ODAGINICEPS Fiers, 1995

    The genus Odaginiceps Fiers, 1995 is one of the 12 genera currently recognized in the family Tetragonicipitidae and now comprises five species (Wells 2007; Karaytug et al., 2010 ).

    "The genus was first created by Fiers (1995) in one of his comprehensive and excellent papers on the Tetragonicipitidae from the Yucatecan continental shelf (Mexico). In this paper, Fiers (1995) described O. clarkae Fiers, 1995 from the West Central Atlantic (Quintana Roo State, Nichupte Lagoon, Cancun, Mexico) and designated it as the type species of the genus.

    In the same paper Fiers (1995) also described O. xamaneki Fiers, 1995 from the Western Central Atlantic (western region of Yucatecan continental shelf, Mexico).

    The third species (O. elegantissima Fiers, 1995) was also described and allocated to the genus by Fiers (1995) after reexamining the material previously identifi ed by Coull (1970) as Diagoniceps laevis Willey, 1930 from Castle Harbour (Bermuda).

    Fiers and De Troch (2000) later described the fourth species, O. immanis Fiers and De Troch, 2000, from the Indo-Pacifi c (Gazi Bay, Kenya)" (from: Karaytug et al., 2010)
